MonuMental is a new multiple prediction effect that packs a punch. The routine is fully explained in a 40 minute video presentation that you can download to your computer. Includes two versions.

Also included on this video is Beyond. A spirit writing effect where a spectator initials all six sides of three blank business cards. Despite this, a message or prediction magically appears on one of the sides while he is holding the cards. And he can keep this as a memento. See demo on your left.

The pressure fan is harder to learn than the Thumb Fan, but it also works with less than stellar cards. And the reverse pressure fan allows all kinds of cool effects, either to show a regular deck as having all blank faces or a deck with backs on the front and back sides of all cards.

When Aldo published his book Double Decker (routines with two decks of cards) little did he know what he was getting into. He really enjoyed studying the routines and consequently he went into a frenzied quest for more. It is amazing how many he found! Here’s a new collection of routines using two (or three) decks of cards. Have fun studying the routines and, above all, performing them all for your audiences.

CONTENTS AND CONTRIBUTORS:

• COLORS CAN’T MIX (Karl Fulves)
• THOT CARD TO POCKET (Martin Gardner)
• CRISS-CROSS COINCIDENCE (Ian Adair)
• PACKED BAGS (Aldo Colombini)
• TURN BLUE (Ken Krenzel)

In the spring of 2005 Jay Sankey sent out a world-wide request for audition videos featuring original material from unknown magicians. In response, performers from more than a dozen countries submitted more than 200 tapes and dvds! From this mountain of submissions Jay and his team unanimously selected Joe Diamond, Eric Leclerc and Jeff Stone.

A few months later, Jay, Joe, Eric and Jeff met up in Toronto and over a couple of days taped an outstanding collection of close-up magic and mentalism including 20 effects with matchbooks, coins, playing cards, keys, film canisters, wrist watches, chewing gum,...

A collection of effects that deal directly with thoughts. Only three of them need anything tangible, and only one requires writing; the rest can be performed naked. Combat with your thoughts, divine birthdays, scam bar mates, use two different cold reading presentations, make your spectator see words they never saw, verbally force cards in seconds, psychologically force thoughts, bend the wills of an audience; let your spectator read your mind, another spectators mind, or even speak life into being.

• Part 1: Hacking the Mind
  • Thought Dueling: Duel a spectator with your thoughts, and get...

IMPOSSIBLE COINCIDENCE

This effect alone is worth the price of the e-book. Before the show a lady is given a deck of cards to shuffle. She puts them behind her back and secretly reverses a card unknown to her. The cards are returned to the case and she is asked to keep the deck until asked for it during your show.

During your show, a man comes up and is told to think of a card. You give him a slip of paper and...

This version of the Knight's Tour is very visual and entertaining to an audience. No confusing lines to draw, just number cards that are quickly removed from pockets over the chessboard. This is similar to the version that Reveen used where he turned down numbers, but uses Devin Knight's revolutionary method!

In less than five minutes, you complete the tour and your show fee is safe. No chance of failure and your...

They write the name of either card on a blank card with the chosen marker. There is no magician's choice here, they can write down the name of either card. Let's say they write down the Four of Hearts with a green crayon marker... ...

The "Bill trick", "Fred trick" or "Phil trick" (Paul Marcus, Fred Lowe, Trevor Duffy, Phil Goldstein,...) is so strong and funny, that it can be a closer, or even a standalone trick if you want to impress somebody, or get some booking.

For those who do not know it, here is a summary of the effect: A deck of cards is placed on the table. A spectator is asked to merely think of any card. The performer says: "The name of your card is Phil!". The deck is shown to have different names printed on the back of every card, and the named card is found to have the name Phil printed on the back!

No sleights. No pre-show. No stooges.

The innovative interlocking construction of the language lists is what drives the routines. The performer can fully focus on the presentation. The 4 language lists provided can be printed on the back of 4 of your business cards or 4 blank playing cards. You can carry these in your pocket or wallet and you will be ready to perform 4 killer routines anytime, anywhere to anyone.

In 2 of the routines, only 3 lists are utilized. In the other 2 routines all the 4 lists are utilized. And in some of the routines the performer...

This is a 15 minute mind reading piece containing 4 phases. It uses a few blank business cards, a few envelopes and a few papers - all normal and ungimmicked.

Phase One - A participant chooses a famous quote, silently in her mind, from among several options. Nothing is spoken or written down by the participant. And yet, the performer reads the participant's mind and divines the chosen quote.

Phase Two - A second participant chooses a famous person, very randomly, from among several possibilities. Weirdly, it so coincides that the famous quote chosen by the first participant happens to...

Effect: The magician says he will attempt to control a spectator's actions. The magician displays three envelopes numbered 1, 2, and 3 saying these are predictions. A participant selects three cards from a regular deck. The performer shows the participant three blank envelopes and asks for a number from 1 to 3.

The magician proceeds to write that number on the envelope and the participant takes one of his selections (no force) and the magician slides it into the envelope with the number the spectator named. This process is repeated with the other two envelopes and cards. The performer then...

The red deck is uncased and the cards are counted face down to the selected number (in this case 10). At that position is the only blue card in the red deck! The card is turned over and it's their missing card from the other deck. For the incredible finale,...
